Tommy and The Grandfather sat in the boat and crossed the river.
"Get up, It's time, Remember our rules? Well it's time we apply them. Just stay behind me" Grandpa said
"Okay, This is like Space Invaders 3! Awesome!" Tommy exclaimed
They both walked across the Jungle and then walked down a lane which reaches to the City.
"Alright kid, We're nearly there. Just lay low ok? We need to go from here"
Soon they reached a military checkpoint
"Hey pal, Would you mind helping an old man?"
"Yep, Go on." Said the Soldier
"We need to get evacuated from here, I have a little kid, We need assistance" Grandpa enquired for
"Sure, Passport please? And let us check your bags." The Soldier commanded
"Before that, I have arms to surrender, I just kept one in case of emergency" Grandpa said while removing his gun from the bag.
"Boosh, And captain Ventex is dooown!" Tommy said
"That's a nice little kid you got there, Take care of him, Wait and sit at the bench we'll announce when we're ready to call" the Soldier said after he checked the bags.
"Sure thing, Pal" Grandpa thanked him and walked away
"Wish I still had my kid, That man's lucky." A soldier said
"Yeah, I feel you mate. But that's what we do. Make these men smile, Even if we loose our one happiness." The other soldier said.
"Whatever, I've learnt that shit is meant to kill you, Gives soldiers like us an impression that everyone cares about us, But the truth is no one does"
"Well, At least those 2 do, And as long as I see kids like that smile, I'm happy with what I do" The soldier argued
"Well this is it, Once we're out of this place, We'll go to some camp, We'll be happy there little chum!" Grandpa said to Tommy
"I don't know grandpa, I'm sad, I've left everything at home, All I have Is my Tim teddy..." Tommy said
"Oh don't worry little kid! Your Tim teddy is always there to protect you! And so am I" Grandpa assured him.
"Hmm, Let me lie down in your lap" Tommy said
"Oh little chum, Everything will be alright"
Tommy lied down in his Grandfather's lap hoping that soon he'll return home. Or live a happy life wherever he would go with his grandfather. Soon Tommy fell asleep and his Grandfather was feeling drowsy but the sun was setting and night time was covering the sky.
"Oh lord, Please make everything I said to Tommy happen" Grandfather said.
